Yeah, are they cordless when youre using them on the car? Or do they have to be plugged into the mains at the time?

Im so tempted to get a PC after seeing the results - but need to get saving first!

I dont want to add up how much Ive spent on detailing products - probably far too much over a couple of years.

Detailing is certainly getting a lot more popular! Seems like more people are ready to admit they are cleaning obsessives these days anyway ;) [Edited by Clare on 3/25/2005 10:16:40 AM]

I might offer to do my neighbours cars - I like a challenge!

Heh. Im embarassed by my neighbours cars, they never ever clean them! Or when they do its twice a year through a car wash. :o

I suppose its hard to notice the tar spots on a dark coloured car.. only good thing about them :p

I went from a silver car, to a dark blue car. My next car will definitely be silver! Dark colours show every single mark/swirl/scratch! and they show dirt more easily!

I occasionally do the arch liners, but theyre usually gross with all the crap in there so I dont bother very often!

I always put mine in the washing machine, never had a problem from doing that. Always use liquid detergent though not powder or tablets.

I always used to wash both cars, but at the moment we only have the one! Not cleaning that Mini is laziness! It wouldnt take you very long, due to the size of it :)

Always got over 50-55mpg in my dci 65. Missing that kind of MPG now!

Great pics brazo! Ive recently started using the 2 bucket method for washing the car - I couldnt believe how dirty the rinse bucket water was after washing the car. Never going back to the old way now :)

Looks pretty good from the front, other than the standard mirrors! Dont like the wheels though.

Online only is the best bet. Loads of people look on there.

Perhaps the wrong section.. never mind, Im sure it will get moved. Sold it to a policeman for £4300 in the end after I reduced the for sale price to £4450.

Put down a deposit on a new car today, with the proceeds from selling the dCi. Picking it up on Friday! Its a dark blue Peugeot 306 1.6 Meridian. A lot more luxurious than the Clio... with half leather seats, alloys, fogs, air con etc. Looking forward to picking it up! Tun. wells locals look...

Cheers Stu :) I know most of that already though.. just wondered if theres any particular problems on the 16vs that I should look out for.

Im thinking of going to look at a 16v locally, hopefully to buy it. Ive never looked at a 16v before. What should I look out for, apart from rust? ;) Cheers!

Yeah, that sounds like Freeway. Theyre pretty good.

Boydie - I think the dCi 80 returns a higher MPG than the dCi 65, so you get the best of both worlds! Quicker car, and higher MPG! I dont thrash my car everywhere, but I dont think Ive ever had over 55mpg from it - Im happy with that anyway :)

Ive got the dCi 65, and have also driven the 1.2 16v, they seem pretty equally matched in terms of speed, but the dCi feels quicker and is much more fun to drive IMHO. The dCi is my first diesel car, and Id definitely buy another. The increased MPG really helps too, I usually get 50-55mpg on...

Similiar cars seem to be going for 6.5k on Autotrader.
